Not wanting to but truth is important to me. Especially when it comes to Something like this. They were wrong, I was right. The individual was never told anything derogatory or remotely racist,or religiously intolerant by myself. There were also many other untruths about other individuals in and around the department that I wonít comment on because they donít pertain to me. If you all knew half of the stuff that happened in and around that time in the department, it would make you puke. Maybe not all of you, but many.

The University paid me a lot more than $10,000. A lot more. Thy were being sued for breach of contract. My guess is when people settle itís partly because the possible damages could be way more. They didnít want to go there, I was willing. I was officially fired without cause, not for anything specific. The University then tried to get out of paying a signed contract, claiming it was null and void. It was however strangely posted on The OSU official human resource page. Normally, organizations donít post null and or void contracts on HR public info. It simply doesnít happen. It is sort of weird to get termination papers, ending your employment and then told a week later you donít have a contract. Even though you have a copy in your own files.

I had 10 great years in Corvallis with some wonderful people. Coach Z, Troy Steiner, Travis Pascoe and more. All the athletes. A lot of support from some really great people In the state. . A couple low character, dishonest, zero moral compass folks canít take that away. Bob DeCarolis was a phenomenal AD. A few current people there now days are an active dumpster fire pretending to lead.

I will always sign my name and have no problem with criticism on effective coaching, winning, not winning, success, recruiting, etc. Fair criticism and debate is great. Everyone ( maybe not everyone, but most) wants success for all the programs in the state. Untruthful Allegations however are something Iím not ok with and never will be.
